Child Sex Abuse/PRP: A foreign-national client was convicted of
child rape. He lost his appeal. His friends retained me for a PRP. We
challenged the court conducting jury selection in private instead of in
open court. The Court of Appeals vacated the convictions. On remand, the
client obtained credit for time served and was returned to his home
country and family.

Child Sex Abuse/PRP: A client had been convicted and had lost his
appeal. I reviewed the record and found the Court of Appeals had
violated its own procedures and the client's appeals lawyer had failed
to raise major issues. The Court of Appeals reinstated my client's
appeal, the State agreed the sentence was five years too long, but the
Court of Appeals reversed and dismissed the conviction's completely for
violation of speedy trial. The client was released from prison.

Child Sex Abuse/PRP/"Wenatchee Sex Ring": As a result of various
institutional abominations, many poor parents were falsely accused of
sexually abusing their children and sent to prison. As a volunteer with
The Innocence Project Northwest, we got eight counts of child rape and a
sentence of 40 years
vacated. The client accepted a plea to one count and credit for time
served. She was released. Her son, by then an adult and supposedly one
of her "victims," returned to live with her in another state.
